Setting that to a higher number in Settings → Reading should correct that.

Can you post a link to another post that should be in there?

I have a post up with exact the dimensions and it's showing up as as as sticky on the bottom of the slider.

In stead of going up in the slider the post is showing up as a sticky on the main page. And do you know how to put those 'featured posts' under the slider? Thanks!

I just went to my test blog and selected Forever. I created a test post and set it as a sticky post. I then uploaded a featured image of the exact dimensions required (see next paragraph) and then I published the post. I now have a slider appearing on my front page ie. the running posts for blogs page.

The dimensions of all featured images for the slider must be exact. They should be at least 888 pixels wide and 355 pixels in height for the slider. Mine is exactly that size. But there's more on featured images so scroll down to "Forever" in this article. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/featured-images/

And I've followed the directions and researched this problem on the internet. My sticky posts are showing up as sticky posts not in a slider. I had the featured images, the right sizes, made the posts sticky and everything. Help please?

I would love any insight. I'm playing around a bit before I launch my blog, but I absolutely love this theme because of the slider option. I'm hoping it's an easy fix. My photos are easily big enough. All are the same size and only one of them shows up in the slider.

I moved all of the sticky posts to draft because they were not displaying properly, and I didn't want to delete them.

The images were sized correctly...as I mentioned, all 4 sticky images were showing correctly in the slider, and then suddenly one day it changed, so only 2 images showed in the slider and the other two were showing as posts underneath the slider. Strange!

I appreciate any other insight you can provide! :)

I imagine you guys made it that way so the images fit the whole blog width but I wouldn't mind for the slider images to be shorter in width. Just a suggestion. I love the forever theme. ;)

I apologize for the late response to this. I had a look and it appears that all of your sticky posts are set to "Draft". Were you able to resolve the issue?

Also, featured images must be at least 887 pixels wide in order for the post to appear inside the slider.

Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this?
